Our workshop

Made by hand – from the plaster cast to the finished prosthetic device

Prosthetics production is one of the few jobs that is still done by hand.

Here at Orthopädie Schärer, our highly respected and skilled professionals have been producing various orthopaedic aids in Lucerne’s Theaterstrasse since the turn of the century.

In those days, we were using leather, linen, steel and plaster, all of which have since been replaced with the most cutting edge materials and substances, such as silicone and carbon, which is extremely strong.

Every one of our orthopaedic aids are carefully adapted to our customers needs.

This is because we want our

• prosthetic devices (arm, breast, leg)
• braces & supports (toes, feet, lower leg and/or upper leg, knee, finger, wrist, elbow, shoulder, torso, neck)
• spinal bracescorsets

to fit like a glove to make sure they ease any pain.

Our supports and braces, such as our carbon splints, are widely used to ease and help with a wide range of conditions and have also helped many a top footballer and Olympian to perform at their best.

Our services go far beyond the provision of product advice and sales:

We also repair and refurbish orthopaedic aids to make them last longer.
